      Management System of India: An Overview.

AB  - Improper handling of plastic waste and related chemical pollution has garnered 
      much attention in recent years owing to the associated detrimental impacts on 
      human health and the environment. This article reports an overview of the main 
      interlinkages between persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and plastic in the 
      waste management system of India. Both plastics and POPs share certain common 
      traits such as persistence, resistance to biological degradation, and the ability 
      to get transported over long distances. Throughout the processes of production, 
      consumption, and disposal, plastics interact with and accumulate POPs through 
      several mechanisms and end up co-existing in the environment. Plastic waste can 
      undergo long-range transport through rivers and the oceans, break down into 
      microplastics and get transported through the air, or remain locked in waste dump 
      yards and landfills. Over time, environmental processes lead to the leaching and 
      release of accumulated POPs from these plastic wastes. Plastic recycling in the 
      Indian informal sector including smelting, scrubbing, and shredding of plastic 
      waste, is also a potential major POPs source that demands further investigation. 
      The presence of POPs in plastic waste and their fate in the plastic recycling 
      process have not yet been elucidated. By enhancing our understanding of these 
      processes, this paper may aid policy decisions to combat the release of POPs from 
      different waste types and processes in India.
